Abstract The protein content ofPergamasus longicornis (Berlese) individuals is of the order of 45 μg bovine serum albumen equivalents and varies depending on gender, time of year and gut colour (postulated nutritive state). Variation between males and females closely matches their size difference. A sinusoidal relationship with a late spring/early summer maximum and a late autumn/early winter minimum is shown for females. Gut colour is a useful predictor in females only. Pregnancy and prey utilisation over the year are suggested as important determinants of protein content and are discussed in detail.
